The documentation explains=20 the process well. Though I do not blame you for this experience. As I=20 said in my previous message, the users expect a package/major-mode to=20 just work after installation; and that is how things should be. If you=20 need help, just let me know and I will try my best to aid you. On a related topic, there is already an ada-tree-sitter grammar system=20 available [1], in case someone did not know and just in case this makes=20 things easier.
